We had the honor of playing a part in the American Cancer Society’s St. Louis Golf Classic at Boone Valley.

Cancer took our founder, Jodi Goone. She was the heart of this company. Her strength, compassion, and belief in building community still shape the way we work and the way we show up.

Supporting organizations like ACS, even in a small way, means a lot to us. It reminds us why this work matters and who we carry with us in the process. 🫶 We’re grateful to have been part of it.

This month (just to show our team's personalities), we asked: What’s your theme song when walking into a venue? One minute you're hearing classic hits, the next it's rap, followed by... screamo?

Here are 11 shares—straight from our team. Watch the 2 minute clip! 🔉

🎫 Event Recap → In this video, Jordi walks through how our team helped bring The Animal Foundation’s Best in Show to life in Vegas—from cue calling and graphics to livestreaming and managing show flow.

This event is ALWAYS a team favorite (because… dogs 🐶) and hands down one of the most fun, unique shows we get to be part of.

Your conference is full of gold. Are you capturing it?

Recording your sessions is part of a smart content strategy.

If you’re already bringing in top speakers, investing in production, and gathering a live audience... don’t let all that value disappear when the lights go off.

Here’s why we encourage our clients to record their sessions:

📡 Extended Reach
Share keynotes and panels with those who couldn’t attend, and grow your audience beyond the room.

💸 Revenue Generation
Offer on-demand access or bundle recorded sessions as part of a paid learning series.

♻️ Content Repurposing
Turn sessions into blogs, podcasts, reels, internal trainings, you name it.

🎥 Marketing Assets
Use footage for highlight reels, testimonials, and promotional content for next year.

📚 Long-Term Value
Create a content library your team can reference, reuse, and build on.

At Utopia, we help you capture what’s happening on stage and turn it into long-term ROI.

Have An Event Coming Up? Capture it all. Share it forever. Whether you’re planning a conference, summit, mastermind, gala, or awards night—we’re here to make sure the best parts don’t end when the event does. Our video recording services give you professional, polished video content you can ...

How many hats do YOU wear?!

It takes a full crew to bring a conference to life.

Behind every seamless moment is a team of specialists working in perfect sync... to name a few:

🎤 The stage manager is calming a nervous speaker moments before they walk on.
🎚️ The audio engineer is balancing a dozen wireless mics while battling room acoustics.
💡 The lighting tech is adjusting levels to make the room feel alive.
🎥 The video engineer is switching camera angles in real-time.
🧤 The stagehands are transforming the stage between sessions.
🧠 And the event planner is holding the whole thing together.. keeping people, priorities, and energy aligned!

That’s why months and months of planning go into it.

Why we start working with clients 9 to 12+ months out from event day.

Because when this many moving parts are in motion, you don’t rise to the occasion.. you fall to the level of your preparation.

If you're ready to uplevel your event, we would love to help!

Every quarter, our team commits to giving back by volunteering with a local nonprofit. For Q2, we doubled down and spent time with not one, but two incredible organizations.

We got to support:

🫧 Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis at their SUDS awareness walk and festival 👟

+

🤱 Our Lady's Inn Maternity Homes by doing some landscaping around their property. Their mission is to serve moms and families in need of housing and support 🏠

Here are a few snapshots from our time together. Grateful for the chance to serve ❤️

Our creative team just finished another highlight video—this time for the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives and their national conference.

This wasn’t just about filming a recap. It was about creating a tool that helps their story reach the right people.. potential members, sponsors, advocates, and decision-makers.

The attendee shares say it all. This community is passionate, activated, and working hard to advocate for improvements in Social Security disability programs.

Grateful to partner with an organization doing such important work.

We're feeling grateful. Last month, Utopia was named a finalist for the St. Louis Business Journal Best Places to Work, taking the #4 spot in the Small Company category.

To be recognized like this, especially among so many great local businesses, is deeply humbling. But what means even more is why we were chosen.

According to our team, it’s about the challenge, growth, support, and meaning they experience here. Utopia isn’t just a place to clock in, it’s a place to grow into who you’re meant to be. We don’t always get it perfect. But we show up with heart. We push each other to think bigger. We celebrate the wins, and we care about the person behind the role.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey... thank you. You’ve helped make Utopia a place people are proud to call home.

It’s wild to think we’ve been partnering with Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas on their Walk For Wishes for over 5 years now.

This year’s walk at Energizer Park was, as always, full of love, connection, and community. 💙

If your heart is pulling you to get involved (fundraising, volunteering, or becoming a corporate partner) here’s how 🙃➡️ https://wish.org/get-involved
